Business buzz in Campbellford centres on pot shop

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – A new business here is gone to pot – literally.

CannaDaze is opening a storefront in Campbellford on May 6, with owner Wayne Matheson of Norwood at the helm.

“The storefront will carry everything but the plant. This includes everything from seeds, to pipes, containers, to growing supplies such as lights,” said Matheson.

People have to be 19 years of age or older to buy and if under 18, have a medical exemption.

“There will be no marijuana for sale,” he added.

“We will also help with the application process for medical marijuana.”

Al Graham of Campbellford, the voice of P.A.C.E. (People Advocating Cannabis Education), will be at the store providing information about the organization which he has been the spokesperson for at many venues, locally and in Toronto.

Both are medical marijuana users and have been advocating the legalization of cannabis for years.

Graham uses medical mari-

juana to help him cope with Crohn’s Disease, and the health issues it presents, a disease he has had for more than a decade.

Matheson said he has “permanent damage to his hamstrings from working construction for years.”

The business “was my way out,” he commented. The two have been friends for years.

Matheson also wants readers to know that he has “talked with the town [Municipality of Trent Hills] and there’s no bylaw to stop him from opening, so it’s a go.”

When asked if he plans to open a marijuana dispensary, he said no.

He and Graham have been manning a vendor’s table at the Hidden Treasure Chest Flea Market in Campbellford for about a month, and that will continue for now.

“One advantage of being at two places, is we reach two different types of clientele. At the market we reach the older crowd, and at the store we expect to reach people ages 20 to 40 years of age,” said Graham.

“The storefront is an opportunity for medical patients who Please see “Buzz” on page 3

Connecting Links Funding approved for Centre Hastings

By Diane Sherman Madoc - A portion of Highway 62 going through the village of Madoc will undergo major improvements in the near future.

A short span of St.Lawrence Street, west of the four corners, and the Deer Creek bridge have

been approved for $712,000 funding, 90 percent of the total cost, to improve road safety under the Ontario Connecting Links Program.

Highway 62 is part of the the village roadway from Highway 7 to the south end of Durham Street, and thus qualifies Rus-

sell, St. Lawrence and Durham Streets as “connecting links” of a provincial highway, eligible for funding.

Last year a portion of the southern sector was refurbished, using the same funding source, from Maud Street to Seymour with additional

PUBLIC NOTICE CNR/CPR OVERHEAD BRIDGE REHABILITATION

work on curbing to Livingstone Street.

The Ministry of Transportation Ontario stated in a press release, April 1, that the Connecting Links Program will not only improve municipal infrastructure but create 110,000 yearly in Ontario, over their 12-year jobs investment program, estimated at $160 billion dollars.

The goal is to create jobs, while improving transport routes “to keep people and goods moving, connect communities and improve quality of life”.

Council was aware they had received the funding but had to wait for the formal announce-

ment before they could share the good news.

“Municipalities are given the opportunity to apply for improvements if they have a provincial highway running through their urban area.” explained Mayor Tom Deline .

Deline and Councillor Eric Sandford, chair of the transportation committee, speculate the project will greatly improve the heavily traveled route through the village.

Deline said the bridge is in definite need of rebuilding for safety reasons, as the route is used by numerous transports traveling Highway 62 north and

south. He is hoping the corner at Russell Street will be widened to accommodate turning transports, though the area still needs to be surveyed to determine property lines.

Tenders will be going out for the work as soon as preliminary details are provided to the municipality.

Deline said he would like to see it done this year, rather than 2017, “But, that all depends on the engineers and meeting requirements, and how soon we can get out the call for tenders.”

The project is expected to create a number of jobs for local workers.

Please be advised that work is scheduled to begin on the CNR/CPR Overhead Bridge, located on County Road 2, approximately 300m east of Normar Road starting on April 11, 2016. Work is expected to be completed by October 31, 2016.

Mayor Tom Deline and Councillor Eric Sandford met at the junction of Russell and St. Lawrence Streets in the Village of Madoc, April 1 to officially announce future work on that sector of Highway 62 which runs through the village. Photo by Diane Sherman

One lane of traffic will be maintained at all times, however, please be advised to expect traffic delays during construction.

For further information, please contact Kaela Esseghaier, Project Engineer, by email: esseghaierk@northumberlandcounty.ca or by phone: (905) 372-3329 ext. 2344.

Tips help police Prescription for Better Health: ID possible Morning suspect Sickness after kids approached in Havelock Havelock – Peterborough County OPP say tips from the public have helped identify a possible male suspect following a report that three children walking along McLean Avenue March 30 had been allegedly approached and asked if they wanted a ride to Toronto.

Police began their investigation immediately after a report that a man had approached three children, two sixyear-olds and a nine-year-old, who were out walking a dog around 5 p.m. on McLean Avenue in the village of Havelock. They were being offered a trip in a grey minivan.

When the children said no, the vehicle sped from the area and was last seen on McLean Avenue.

Police say the male suspect was described as a clean-shaven 35-40-yearold man with short hair and wearing a black leather jacket. The vehicle was described as a grey-coloured minivan with dark lettering on the side and a handicapped sticker on the rear hatch area. There was also a dark tint on the rear windows of the van.

Police also said there was a second man in the van.

Peterborough County OPP is continuing their investigation. Anyone with additional information can contact police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Buzz Continued from page 1 can’t travel far to purchase products such as rolling papers, or a pipe or vaporizer,” noted Matheson.

Erick Woolsey will be managing the storefront.

Matheson’s fiancé, Shalin Nichol, will be helping with the business.

“Wayne is the business person. I will be there to supply educational information and talk to people, similar to what I was doing at the (now closed) Grindhouse Café. People can come and ask questions,” said Graham, who writes for Treating Yourself magazine.

Graham is now also writing the editorial for a new P.A.C.E. magazine on the market called the Grassroots Advocate. It will be available at the store.

The official grand opening of the store at 19 Bridge St. West, is scheduled for Friday, May 13.

As a pregnant soontobemother, I have come to know morning sickness very well. As many women will agree, the term “morning sickness” is a complete misnomer as nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can happen at any time of day or night, not just in the morning. There are several nonmedicinal ways to help reduce morning sickness: • Eat dry toast or crackers before getting out of bed • Avoid fatty, fried, or spicy foods • Eat only foods that look and smell appealing to you • Avoid smells that nauseate you • Eat several small meals throughout the day (instead of 3 large meals) • Drink small amounts of fluid regularly throughout the day • Avoid laying down right after eating • Prenatal vitamins and iron can worsen morning sickness. Talk to your pharmacist or prenatal care provider about other options.

• Dress in layers and avoid warm places • Get lots of rest and try to reduce your stress If none of these suggestions help reduce your nausea and vomiting, talk to your pharmacist or prenatal care provider about morning sickness treatment options. There are several medications available to treat morning sickness that have been proven to be safe during pregnancy. These medications do not increase the risk of birth defects.

Morning sickness is completely normal during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, there are certain symptoms that warrant a visit to your prenatal care provider. These symptoms include: • Weight loss • Vomiting that is unresponsive to treatment • Diarrhea • Fever • Inability to keep fluids down and you feel faint or very thirsty • Vomiting blood or coffee groundlike material If you have any questions or concerns about morning sickness, talk to your pharmacist, prenatal care provider, or consult the Motherisk program at www.motherisk.org or call their tollfree helpline at 18004368477.

Campellford hospital could be regional electronic health records hub

Campbellford – Campbellford Memorial Hospital could become a regional electronic health records (EHR) hub. That is the vision of President and CEO Brad Hilker, who updated hospital board officials at their last meeting on the progress being made in this area.

Providing a context for this plan, he talked about the Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network (GAIN) clinic located across the street, where the Trent Hills Family Health Team is situated in the Campbellford Memo-

rial Health Centre at 119 Isabella St. The clinic opened June 2015.

The GAIN clinics are established in each of the four largest hospitals in the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE-LHIN), the closest being at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre. The clinics also include eight community-based teams such as the one in Trent Hills.

The GAIN teams serve seniors, typically aged 75 plus, living at home or in retirement residences, who are frail and require comprehensive assessment.

“Our GAIN team has worked very

Five charged in area drug bust

Provincial police have charged a number of local teens and young adults in a sweeping drug bust in the area.

Members of the OPP, the Belleville police drug officers and Tyendinaga Police Service, executed Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrants at homes on Russell Street and Chatham Street in Belleville and on Harmony Road in Corbyville.

As a result, police seized large quantities of suspected cocaine and heroin, MDMA, cannabis marijuana, LSD, methamphetamine, psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and oxycodone all with an estimated street value of $75,000.

Three adults and two young males have been charged with various CDSA and Criminal Code charges.

Chanse Brant-Maracle 18, of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Lukas Ziduljak and Martin Ziduljak, both 23, of Belleville and a 15-year-old boy have been charged

by police with eight counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purposes of trafficking, and one count of unauthorized possession of a firearm.

Brant-Maracle is also charged with possession of a prohibited weapon – brass knuckles. He was also wanted on previous drug charges by Northumberland County OPP. A 17-year-old boy has been also charged with possession of cannabis marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime.

The 15-year-old and 17-year-old were released and are scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice’s Youth Court at later dates.

Brant-Maracle, Ziduljak and Ziduljak were being held for a bail hearing. Police said the investigation is likely to lead to further charges. The names of the teens will not be released in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

closely with our IT vendor to build customized screens that facilitate the documentation of the comprehensive geriatric assessment,” Hilker told the board.

“The consulting geriatricians have praised the completeness and accuracy of the documentation and assessment record, and our team finds the system easy to use,” he added. The system has been designed to easily track indicators for monthly reporting.

“Based on our success, the Seniors Care Network is exploring the use of our system as a regional documen-

tation system for the other GAIN teams,” Hilker explained.

This puts the system front and centre, in terms of it becoming the regional EHR hub for the GAIN program “to assist the Seniors Care Network to a common software solution utilizing our existing relationship with our vendor.”

Hilker noted, “Further details will come, as we explore this opportunity.”

The Seniors Care Network is “a group of dedicated health professionals, who share expertise and hard work, to provide the best healthcare experience for frail older adults in the

The Network’s statistics indicate that 15 per cent of the CE-LHIN’s 1.6 million residents are seniors, “who may require additional support to remain living at home.”

The LHIN’s population of frail older adults is estimated to grow by 27 per cent in the next decade and double in the next 20 years.

All of this is happening while the province’s eHealth blueprint is being used as a framework for EHR planning and delivery.

“Movement of kindness” returns home

Norwood – “There are way more good people out there than I thought,” says Jason Alexander.

Alexander launched the heartening #OneForJames campaign in the wake the tragic death of his best friend James Bidgood and talked about the “movement of kindness” during a return to Norwood District High where he, James and their buddies solidified friendships that remain tight and comforting.

It was sombre and rejuvenating return, Alexander admits.

“It was definitely a bigger emotional ride for me especially because James and I walked through these halls together. I walked past my old locker and remember standing outside it with him. It was a neat feeling but somber.”

The One For James “pay it forward” movement started a little over a year

ago following a chance meeting and conversation about James in a Tim Hortons. Since that fateful day people around the world have been buying complete strangers coffees and making gestures of kindness in James’ name and by doing so not only honouring James but remembering their own loved ones.

Alexander posted a note about the conversation and photo of the coffee cup on his Facebook page that night.

The next morning there were 350 “likes.” He decided to create a One For James Facebook page which now has over 12,500 likes.

The movement continues to ripple like a stone tossed into in a pond and not just in social media but daily life.

“I remember being here (at NDHS) and remember hearing other people speak and I remember specific things about what they said to me and I re-

member the impact it had on me,” Alexander said.

“It does feel good,” Alexander says of the simple act of doing something nice for someone. “There is literally nothing bad that can come out of this (and) it doesn’t have to be a coffee. It is so simple. It really is.”

Talking to kids a generation removed from his own NDHS days is another way of paying things forward.

“It’s something these kids might not think about because you’re in such a hurry to get out of here (but) after you get out you remember these are the formative years of your life. They shape your character in a lot of ways.

They don’t realize it when they’re here but it’s something you think about after for sure.

“If it takes me only a few minutes to write something on Facebook once in a while then it’s totally worth it. Life

is short. Way too short to harbour negative feelings.”

“It was really important for us to hear,” NDHS student council president Cian Ceranowicz said. “Coming from our community and our high school it really hits close to home. The littlest things can actually make a difference.”

“You need to take time and be in-

volved with people around you and just be kind. It’s so easy to be nice,” added Taylor Pedersen.

NDHS has launched its own “Knights of the Day” movement and Pedersen hopes it takes root like One For James.

“You need to take time to slow down.”

Mail-out leads to the startup of Trent Hills Bible School Campbellford – A mail-out to post office box holders in Campbellford offering the opportunity to enroll in a free “It is Written Bible study Guides” program, has led to the startup of the Trent Hills Bible School.

This newspaper reached out, responding to the same mail-out, to find out who was organizing this new school through a post office box number because a phone call to a local church had indicated there was no knowledge among the churches in the area as to who might be setting up this new school.

Response came in letter form (with a phone number provided) from Will and Jeannie Marcoux who explained they moved to Campbellford in 2013 and, in their own words, wondered how they “might contribute to the social and spiritual life of Trent Hills.”

The mail-out was their way of reaching out to everyone.

According to Marcoux, the bible study guides are now being sent to five individuals in Campbellford, Hastings and Springbrook.

“We are a small school so our emphasis is not so much on numbers as on individual instruction and comprehension. All students study at their own pace as our hope is to nurture an ongoing relationship with the Word of God,” noted Marcoux.

He explained that the family “came across” the lessons while travelling in California and decided this would be the series they would use for the local bible school program.

“The study guides are written by TV Host and full-time evangelist John Bradshaw, whose ministry is based out of Chattanoga, Tennessee,” he explained.

According to the It Is Written website, www.itiswritten.com (address provided

by Marcoux), this is a donor-supported ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

For the Marcoux family it is something they are pursuing while continuing with their careers, at least for now.

“My wife Jeannie teaches piano and voice and her local studio is called Healthy Beet Music Studio. I am nearing retirement, but at

this point still commuting into the Oshawa area to work as a family physician,” noted Marcoux. The couple has two daughters, Heidi and Kayla.

“Jeannie and I both love to study the Bible and to help others to gain a like appreciation for this ancient book, and so this area became our emphasis to organize something for the community,” Marcoux explained.

A “Q and A” booklet was mailed out to those who responded. “The booklet’s lead-in-stories, abundant illustrations and feature boxes are there to engage read-

ers. Each lesson can be used independently, but there are 25 lessons in total, 12 pages each, and they cover major Bible teachings,” he noted.

“People from many denominations have completed the studies and have found them helpful in their spiritual walks.”

Anyone interested can reach out to the school at: Trent Hills Bible School, Box 1604, Campbellford.

Trent Hills – Two significant projects carried out by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 103 in Campbellford earned two Trent Hills Civic Awards.

One was for architectural conservation in recognition of the extensive work that was done to restore the building’s face. The project was spearheaded by Sky-High Historical Restoration and Consulting owner Tom Plue and branch president Reg Gordon, and supported by municipal funding and donations from 26 area businesses and organizations.

The work involved removing five layers of old shingles and installing new plywood, new underlay, new shingles and new flashing; rebuilding masonry on chimneys and adding custom-built capping; resurfacing and resealing the front door and replacing the hardware; repointing stone; and replicating woodwork and decorative details, as well as windows and frames.

OPINION

What would a Syrian peace deal look like?

After the Syrian army recaptured the city of Palmyra from Islamic State a week ago, US State Department spokesman John Kirby admitted that the liberation of the ancient city was a “good thing”.

But he could not resist adding: “We‘re also mindful, of course, that best hope for Syria Gwynne Dyer the and the Syrian people is not an expansion of [President] Bashar al-Assad‘s ability to tyrannize the Syrian people.”

This was entirely in line with the long-standing US policy of seeking to destroy both Islamic State and the Syrian government (i.e. the Assad regime) at the same time. But that was never more than wishful thinking, especially as the United States was quite sensibly determined not to commit its own ground troops to the conflict.

If the Syrian army actually had collapsed (as was looking quite likely before the Russians intervened to save it last September), nothing could have prevented Islamic State and the rival Islamist forces of the Nusra Front from taking the whole country. They might then have fought each other for control, but all of Syria would have ended up under extreme Islamist rule.

But the opposite is not true. The revival of the Syrian army, and even its reconquest of Palmyra, does not mean that the Assad regime can destroy Islamic State, let alone regain control of the whole country. Nor does Russia have any intention of helping President Assad to pursue such an ambitious goal, as Moscow made clear by withdrawing most of the Russian combat aircraft from Syria two weeks ago.

Russia’s strategy has been more modest and realistic from the start. It was to restore the military stalemate that had persisted until the spring of 2015, and to convince the remaining non-Islamist rebel groups that they had no chance of somehow riding to power on the coat-tails of an Islamist victory over the Assad regime.

This hope was as delusional as the American policy in Syria. By mid-2015 between 80 per cent and 90 per cent of the Syrian rebels actively fighting the Assad regime belonged to Islamic State or to al-Qaeda’s Syrian franchise, the Nusra Front, and its Islamist allies in Ahrar al-Sham. Moreover, the remainder of the rebels, the non-fanatics or so-called “moderates” were mostly allied to the Nusra Front.

Central HastingsTrent Hills News P.O. Box 25009, Belleville, ON K8P 5E0 250 Sidney Street Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:

This curious alliance came to pass mostly because the Nusra Front wanted to avoid the American and “coalition” bombs that were falling on Islamic State. So it created a broader alliance called the “Army of Islam” that wrapped these small “moderate” groups around the Islamist core, and the United States fell for it. Or at least American propaganda fell for it.

The Russians cheerfully bombed all these forces indiscriminately, making no distinction between Islamists and the allies of Islamists.

The United States ritually condemned the attacks on the latter groups (always described as “moderates”), and the Russians cheerfully ignored that too.

And after five months, when most of the “moderates” had been persuaded that they were never going to gain power through an alliance with the Islamists, Moscow proposed a ceasefire that would include the “moderates” but exclude the Islamists. That ceasefire has now been in effect for almost a month.

The negotiators for these moderate groups are still demanding the departure of Assad from power as the price of a permanent ceasefire.

They haven’t a prayer of getting such a sweet deal, but the Russians are putting pressure on Assad to come up with a formula of words, however vague, that will persuade them to accept amnesty and come in from the cold without losing too much face.

The Islamists, although largely surrounded and blockaded, will not be defeated any time soon by military force, but they are growing weaker and may fall to fighting among themselves.

And the Syrian Kurds, the only American allies on the ground in Syria, will probably manage to hold on to the long strip of territory they control along the border with Turkey. However, they may have to settle for being an “autonomous province” within Syria if they wish to avoid a Turkish invasion.

President Vladimir Putin’s goal was to isolate the Islamists and reconcile the rest of the rebels with the Assad regime, and it is well on the way to accomplishment. It will not be a happy ending for any of the groups involved in the Syrian civil war, but it is the least bad outcome that can now be realistically imagined.

It will not put an end to all the fighting on Syrian territory. Not all the refugees will want to come home to such a country, and the terrorism abroad will continue. But then, it would continue even if Islamic State disappeared. You don’t need a state to plan terrorist attacks.

When no decisive victory is possible for any side, it makes sense to stop as much of the shooting as possible.

Is it time to raise the Sunshine List bar?

Editorial - Chris Malette It’s that time of year when many of us revel in peeking at our neighbours’ pay cheque.

The full disclosure season for public employees is under way and plenty of us race to web links to suss out who among us is making more than $100K a year on the public dime.

But, is it time we raised the bar on the amount reported in the public naming of those who, let’s face it, likely aren’t comfortable having their payday details aired online one click away from the naked porn stars?

Many, year-in and year-out, are agog at the salary listed for Quinte Health Care chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts. It was, for the record, $384,703.90 for 2015.

The salary was recently made public as a result of the Ontario Public Salary Disclosure Act. The Act ensures that all public sector employees earning $100,000 or more in a year have their salaries made public.

As we reported in a story in this week’s edition and online on our web page insidebelleville.com provides links to other local payroll accounts, Egberts’ salary makes her the highest paid public servant in the Quinte area. She’s also one of 104 QHC employees on the list, also known as the “Sunshine List.”

Another notable health care official, Paul Huras, the CEO of the Southeast Local Health Integration Network, earned $331,945.47 in 2015.

And on and on they go – dozens of college teachers, sorry, professors, pulling down six figures when many of us can only hope to hit those numbers, perhaps with a little luck on the 6/49.

The Sunshine List was created by Ontario’s Public Sector Disclosure Act, which was passed back in 1996 by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris. It was meant to serve as a check on payroll spending, with the Harris government often pointing to the list as justification for spending cutbacks it was proposing.

When it was first rolled out – to monstrous fanfare and, in some corners, outrage that it was being reported at all – there were all of 4,576 names on the list. Today there are tens of thousands on the list.

Premier Kathleen Wynne mused about raising the limit to somewhere closer

to today’s inflation rate from the original $100K back in 2013, but never did.

Critics, many of them representing unions of public servants, police, teachers and the like, say it’s time the list threshold was changed.

For one thing, they say, the $100,000 limit has never been adjusted to take inflation into account. If that had been done back in 1996, the threshold this year would have been about $142,000. Where $100,000 was considered a significant dividing point back in 1996, taking in Crown corporation CEOs and department directors, it’s now low enough to capture large numbers of public employees, including hydro workers, nurses, teachers, transit workers, firefighters and police.

“The cost of living has changed in the last decades and so must the Sunshine List,” Mike McCormack, who heads the Toronto Police Association, wrote in a recent in The Toronto Sun. “We feel this list, which may have had value 20 years ago, is no longer relevant and unfairly targets our members.”

Warren (Smokey) Thomas, president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, said he doubted it would ever happen. “It’s such a political hot potato,” he observed.

He’s probably right and there is broad support for keeping it at $100,000.

Christine Van Geyn is Ontario director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and believes absolutely it should remain at $100,000.

“I don’t think they should raise the limit,” she old CBC News. “When you consider that the average household salary is $73,000, $100,000 for one person is still a lot of money.”

A lot of us know, personally, many of the cops, firefighters, nurses and teachers on those lists. Too, a lot of them worked damn hard to get to a station in their career to earn that kind of coin. Others, arguably, should rightfully be thanking their decision to cadge a job in that lucrative sector of the public service that allows them to live very, very comfortably, thank you very much, with benefits to match.

Should we raise the bar? Depends on which side of the bar you reside, one would suppose.

Without it at $100,000, how else would we tut-tut the waste, all the while muttering about our neighbour and his new boat and motorcycle?

OPP warns of scammers using ploys to extort money Orillia – Service scammers prey on the lack of computer literacy and on the public trust.

Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Anti-Rackets Branch say service scammers can use technical sounding ploys to extort money and personal information from unwitting victims.

These scams typically involve individuals who make offers to provide telecommunications, Internet, finance, medical and

energy services. This category of scams may also include offers such as extended warranties, insurance and door-to-door sales.

Although 95 per cent of the crimes go unreported, service scams generated 422 Ontario complaints to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre in 2015, yielding 199 victims who sustained losses totalling almost $150,000.

Investigators find two scenarios are most commonly used. In one

version, someone calls pretending to represent a well-known computer-based company like Microsoft, and claims that the victim’s computer is sending out viruses or has been hacked and must be cleaned. The scammer will gain remote access to the computer and may run some programs or change some settings.

The scammer will then advise that a fee is required for the service of virus cleaning and request

a credit card number to cover the payment.

In some cases, the scammer will send a transfer from the victim’s computer through a money service business. The end result is that the victim pays for a service that was never needed, as the computer was never infected.

In another often-used scenario, scammers will call and make an offer to reduce the interest rates on a victim’s credit cards or line

of credit. Personal information is requested such as a Social Insurance Number (SIN), mother’s maiden name, date of birth, and the credit card number with the expiry date of the cards they want reduced.

If you, or someone you know, suspect they’ve been a victim of a service scam, contact your local police service. You can also file a complaint through the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website or by telephone

Havelock – A significant void has been filled in Havelock’s Highway 7 business corridor, now that The Amazing Dollar Store has reopened its doors.

Temporarily felled by a roof collapse in March 2015, the popular retail outlet is up and running again and held a grand re-opening sale and celebration Saturday, that included a ribbon cutting by Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council.

The business has been a popular stop ever since opening in 2009, catering to area residents and summertime cottage traffic.

Owner Holly Davis was thrilled to welcome the public back into the store after the hiatus. Davis owns and operates another store in Sharbot Lake.

“The support has been phenomenal. I’m really touched by all the support I’ve had.

It’s been great,” she said.

The store is “set up a little differently” than it was before with some new shelving and refurbishing, said Davis.

“It’s a little bit easier to find things and for customers to see what we have here,” she noted.

One new addition is the Balloon Centre near the front of the store, which will appeal to people looking for things to accent celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones.

The store features giftware, toys, stationery, kitchen supplies, tools and hardware, crafts and cottage-friendly summer items.

There are still products on back order which will be added when they arrive, but other than that Davis is excited to be serving local clientele once again.

“This is a very welcoming community,” she added.

Syrian refugee family of four relocating to Trent Hills in next two months

By John Campbell Campbellford -- A family of four, fleeing the horrors of Syria, will soon make their way to Trent Hills to begin a new life in Canada.

Sonny Lennon, co-chair of the Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative steering committee, said Monday the family, a man and a woman and their two children, one four years old, the other two months -- “will probably be here in the next monthand-a-half to two months.”

Speaking at an assembly at Campbellford District High School organized by the school‘s Social Justice League, Lennon told the students the generosity of the community has been “simply amazing.”

The volunteer group has collected enough furniture, clothing, bedding and other goods to fill a 52-foot trailer and raised more than $30,000, which he said will be “sufficient” to bring the refugee family to Canada and support

them for a year.

They currently live in Beirut, where they have stayed for more than a year after abandoning their home in Aleppo and then Damascus to escape the civil war which, in five years, has resulted in the deaths of at least 470,000 Syrians, according to the Syrian Center for Policy Research.

Lennon said afterwards his committee has secured temporary shelter for the family in Hastings. Once they arrive, “It‘s up to us to enable them to go out to find lodgings that suits them ... it‘s their decision,” he said. “If they choose not to stay in the community, that‘s perfectly fine, we‘re giving them safety and shelter.”

The father is an interior designer and the mother a journalist, and “they speak a little English [and] a little French.”

The support the committee has received from the community, including 200 donations of cash, has been “very gratifying,” Lennon said.

He was “blown away” by the five days of events the Social Justice League has organized for this week to raise money for the Syrian refugees and to inform students about the suffering they endure.

Tony Posthumus, executive director of Northumberland Youth Unlimited, spoke at the assembly about the horrific conditions that have forced millions of Syrians to seek shelter elsewhere. The humanitarian crisis includes terrorist attacks and their own government denying them access to food, shelter and health care.

Their situation is “dire” and “people are experiencing some really terrible things.”

CHSS students rally to help their peers “This money is specifically for the emergency fund,” deSnoo explained. “We started out with $45,000 at the beginning of the school year, [and] it is now down to less than $8,000.”

She said they receive numerous requests for help with food, clothing and personal hygiene items, noting Hastings County ranks second in Ontario for food insecurity. “That,” she

says, “is reflected in the demand for these funds.”

The foundation is a charitable organization of the school board, separately incorporated and governed, with the goal

Madoc - Centre Hastings Secondary School students faced off against their teachers in an end-of-season hockey game on April 1, with everyone dressed in school colours cheering on their favourites. The game was for a larger purpose than rallying school spirit though.

It is an annual gesture of support for the emergency services sector of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation, to fund special services for marginalized students within the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.

Students buy their way out of classes with a toonie for the action-packed afternoon, which goes into a fund for the foundation.

Students didn’t seem to mind contributing two dollars for a Friday afternoon at the arena, watching their teachers challenge some of the best CHSS hockey players. It was a tough game ending in overtime to break a 4-4 tie, with the teachers scoring the last goal.

Centre Hastings looks to tighten up budget

By Diane Sherman Madoc - The municipality needs to cut $250,000 from somewhere in the operations budget to make ends meet.

Council has directed staff and department heads to delve into operating budgets to possibly defer capital items or cut costs somewhere.

Discussions looked into possible sources of revenue, such as a small user fee for Centre Hastings Park, or a membership pass.

Councillor Bob Hadley pointed out the Parks and Recreation budget is 16 per cent of expenditures, questioning whether that is sustainable with current restraints. He suggested closing the swimming pool this year, but Mayor Deline noted the facility will be subject to upgraded regulations if re-opened, which would be more costly.

The average property assessment

has gone from $187,555 in 2015 to $193,181 this year, a three per cent increase.

Policing costs are 4.2 per cent of the budget and office administration 12.9 per cent, though Deline says this is only a 1.86 per cent increase over the past five years.

Council looked at pulling funds from the Community Improvement Plan ($20,000), and the same for the Economic Development Fund, and cutting back on hanging banners and Christmas lights to save money.

The budget for the fire department is holding $100,000 in reserves, which Deline said could be pulled and repaid at $50,000 a year over two years. The department is getting a new pumper tanker this year, and should be in good shape for the next two years with no more capital expenditures projected.

In regular council business, a del-

egation from Central Hastings Support Network, rural transit committee, asked council for continued support of bus service for the five local municipalities in Central Hastings. Council later passed a motion to appoint Councillor Eric Sandford as a full-time del-

egate to the transit committee.

A procedural bylaw to regulate the time and location of council meetings is still under review, with a request from Hadley to streamline the directives which staff will work on.

The annual waste water report is

available on the municipal website, showing the Madoc lagoon to be in good shape with effluent quality, well within or below certifiable limits and operating to standard.

The final budget is expected to be late this year.

Havelock Lions egg hunt a blast

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Nearly 150 children streamed through the doors of the Havelock Lions Community Hall for a taste of chocolate fun during the club’s annual Easter Egg hunt.

It is one of the club’s finest traditions and a solid community effort that keeps the event’s costs low.

“Everybody’s involved in this,” Lions President Don Radnor said. “This is a true community event and for the most part it’s free. This is the direct result of the sponsors, donors and local businesses.”

It was Radnor’s third time watching the controlled pandemonium and he loved every second of it.

“It’s fun to watch. I just stand and get my head spinning because you don’t Ryder Adair, 10, holds up one of the raffle prize bas- know where to look next,” he said. “The kets that was given away during the annual Have- kids have a blast and we have a blast dolock Lions Easter Egg hunt.

Vicki Blakely has watched children grow up with the egg hunt, and it’s something she looks forward to.

“Every year they’re a little bit taller, and it’s nice to see them return, but there are still plenty of new faces,” the egg hunt’s co-ordinator said.

Blakely, like Radnor, is overwhelmed by the generous support the event receives from the wider community, especially this year.

“The sponsors definitely make it what it is, and we rely heavily on them,” she said. “Last year it kind of dropped, but it’s back up, and we had a lot of sponsors.”

The event received donations from upwards of 70 local businesses, Blakely said.

“We were able to offer the egg hunt for free, the jelly beans for free and the raffles much cheaper than what the prizes actually cost.”

If the funding comes through the project must be done by December 31, 2017.

Councillors raised some concerns about construction work and how it would affect school arrivals and departures. Councillor Roy Millett wondered if there was a way of creating a temporary connection to nearby Alma Street for buses.

Treasurer Candace White said the “goal” was to run the project “similar to Spring Street” where the work near St. Paul School took place in the summer and wrapped up before school started in September. Work further away on Spring and Pine Streets took place during the school year with traffic controlled and monitored by the contractors.

“There will be some activity obviously prior to the end of school and we’ll have to take a look at it then.

Hopefully the full reconstruction is done in August,” White said.

Public Works Manager Jeff Waldon says there might be two or three weeks of dealing with bus traffic if they started in June. He estimated the project could be done in two or three months.

Remembering The ‘Fonz’ in Havelock

Havelock – Bill “The Fonz” Davis’ hockey legacy shines on in Havelock even though it’s been eight seasons since the hard-rock player passed away at the too young age of 54.

The William Bruce “The Fonz” Davis Memorial Trophy was presented to Mike Fleury during the tribute tourney men’s league players in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen hold every year in his honour.

Fleury played all his minor hockey in Havelock and has been a men’s league player for about 30 years and was honoured to receive the trophy from tournament organizer Doug Hart a long-time hockey and fishing buddy of Davis.

“He was a great friend and I played hockey with him for many years,” said Fleury who joined last year’s recipient Devon Gerow for a photo following the event. “Every year this is for him. Every year.”

“My kids grew up seeing us do this and they enjoy it as well,” said Fleury.

Fleury’s team won both of their tour-

Banking at the post office?

By Jack Evans A detailed report from CAO Jim Pine to Hastings County Council last week points to the postal service as a possible solution to the continuing loss of local bank services by closures.

That possible solution was floated last month by Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline.

In researching his report, Pine came across an article called “Why Canada Needs Postal Banking” for an Ottawabased advocacy group. It showed the growing problem of banks closing up, especially in rural communities. Between 1990 and 2012, 22 per cent of branches had closed and credit unions showed similar declines.

Banking services were once a part of Canada’s postal system, many years ago, he noted, and it is still used successfully in many parts of the world. It was wound down in Canada in 1968, but it remains “on the books” federally to re-introduce.

“It may be possible that a revitalized postal banking service can re-enter the Canadian financial world to provide improved access for businesses and citizens alike, particularly in our rural communities,” he speculated in his report. He added that it may be opportune to broach this to the new Liberal government.

Council was enthusiastic in receiving his report and agreed it was not just a local concern, but one of national importance and approved drafting a formal resolution for both the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the federal municipal association.

ney games but he admits his game has slowed down a bit replaced by savvy play-making. Perhaps it’s the Jaromir Jagr effect.

“That comes with age,” he laughs.

“But the older you get the smarter you get.”

Davis was a member of the first Havelock team to win an Ontario Minor Hockey Association title bringing his fearless blueline style to the 1973 ju-

venile team that knocked off Lucknow for the OMHA’s “D” title. That OMHA championship is one of six Havelock teams have won since 1952 when the juveniles lost the “C” final to Georgetown.

Havelock’s last OMHA crown was in 2002 when the midget Hawks beat Norwich in the “DD” final.

“We still love The Fonz,” says Hart who has been involved in hockey in

Havelock for over 40 years. “We just try to keep this going for The Fonz.”

The bond Davis had with teammates and those he played against in Friday night men’s league action was “tight,” says Hart.

“He was the glue of that team,” he said of the midget championship team. “He was a tough, hardhitting defenceman.”

“All the guys really miss him and that’s why we got a trophy for him,” says Hart. “He was a well-known guy.

He was the first guy on the ice every Friday night.”

“The legacy is there. Every town has a few trophies and this one for the men is his,” Hart said after a previous tourney.

Newfoundland singer Séan McCann comes to Stirling on April 13

By Terry McNamee Stirling - In what promises to be an exciting night, former Great Big Sea band member Séan McCann is bringing his music to the Stirling Festival Theatre next Wednesday, April 13.

For McCann, growing up in Carbonear, a small town on Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula, shaped both the man he would become and the traditional music he holds dear.

“Newfoundland is a beautiful island steeped in tradition, and its isolation encourages people to be creative,” he said. “There is no better songwriting school in the world.”

As a founding member of Great Big Sea, McCann travelled the world, but

alcohol eventually started consuming his life.

Instead of enjoying the music he was bringing to millions of people, he was using it as a shield. So, after 20 years, he left the band and now uses music to stay true to himself and to help others who are facing physical and mental challenges and battling addictions.

“Music is my mentor and my medicine,” he said. “Five years ago, I stopped drinking and finally faced the demons in my past. I have been in recovery ever since. My guitar has been a great friend to me during this transition, and my songs have given me the strength I needed to get through some really hard times.

I believe that a song can save your life.

“Music is our universal language, the

glue that holds us together. Songs enable us to make sense of our volatile world, and singing them reminds us that together we are not alone. We are never lost as long as we have a song in our hearts.”

The evening concert, which begins at 8 p.m., is called “An Intimate Evening With Séan McCann.” He will be playing acoustic guitar and bodhran as well as singing.

The concert will be preceded by a pre-show dinner at 6 p.m. Ticket prices are $25 for the dinner, and for the concert, $24 for theatre members, $26 for seniors and $28 for non-members.

For more information, go to http:// www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com or call 613-395-2100.

Sewing 101 Life Skills Club: Our first meeting was held at Fabricland in Belleville. Before we went to Fabricland we had decided that this project would be Pajamas pants. At Fabricland we looked around at different fabrics and learned which would be the best to make pajamas.

We also looked at different styles of pajamas we could make and everyone picked out the one they preferred. We then found everything we needed to make the perfect pair of pajama pants. A HUGE thank you goes to the ladies at Fabricland.

At this Club we learned how to use the sewing machine, how to select and read a pattern, how to measure fabrics and fine tune the fit for our pajama pants. We did a measuring activity so

we would know what size to cut our fabric.

Some members decided that they wanted buttonholes ribbon and others wanted elastic waist...

We also, made a draw string bag; made from the extra fabric everyone had. At the last meeting we were provided 9 square blocks to sew together with a ¼” seam allowance all straight lines WE can do it!!

Our Achievement Night was held at the Reed’s for a PJ Pant movie night with our project books to be submitted then.

We wish to thank all the moms, dads, and grandmothers who helped with

this project.

As reported by Sydney Summers 4-H Vet Club Our first Vet Club meeting was great!

Today the Club held elections for various roles, such as President, Vice President, Secretary, etc. Being new to 4H, it is very exciting to have the roles of the News Reporter and Photographer. Our guest speaker was Dr. Nadia from the Foxboro Veterinary Clinic.

Dr. Nadia spoke to us about basic animal care such as clipping nails, proper handling and assessing animal weight.

This Club has many exciting topics and experiences to look forward to over the next few weeks! Our next meeting will be at the Open House at Foxboro Veterinary Hospital, Foxboro on March 20, from 11-3.

Wild wonders of Hastings County will be topic in Tweed Library Writers’ series April 14 The next guests in the Tweed Public Library Writers’ Series will be Elizabeth Churcher and George Thomson, the wellknown local authors of a popular local column, Naturally.

George and Elizabeth are stewards of ‘Hepatica Hill’, a 100-acre eco-friendly, organic farm south of Tweed. They often get ideas for writing as they sip morning coffees near

their kitchen window, while they work on their property or when they stroll down a woodland trail. A new bird visitor sighted in their yard, a glimpse of animal movement in the distant landscape, or a rare wildflower will have them reaching for their camera, scope and binoculars. Notebooks and pens are always at hand, and their

perpetual curiosity motivates research into each new marvel of nature.

Their love of nature started early in life. George grew up in downtown Toronto and loved to explore its ravines; Elizabeth lived on a farm near Bancroft and spent endless hours exploring her natural surroundings. They both learned about the wonders

of nature through personal observation and research, and their education paths led them both to specialize in science and education.

After a few years of teaching in North York, George followed an urge to get out of the city and 43 years ago he bought their farm here in Hastings County. The local farmers were initially very skeptical about the chances of this city boy surviving on a farm, but to their surprise he succeeded, with a little help from his more experienced neighbours. He continued teaching biology in Belleville for the rest of his career.

Elizabeth first taught in Bancroft and then, after further studies, she moved to Belleville where she taught science and music in a Grades 7 and 8. As an education consultant and later as a principal, she was able to have more influence on how special needs and gifted students were educated. Her

love of teaching made these very enjoyable years.

Elizabeth and George are now enjoying “retirement,” surrounded by nature on their peaceful farm. Fields, woods and extensive gardens provide a rich variety of flora and fauna. They are dedicated to being “stewards of the earth”, and their love of nature is evident whenever they talk about their farm and the region around.

Federal budget no help to Stirling, says mayor

By Terry McNamee Stirling-Rawdon — Despite all the money available in the 2016 federal budget, very little is likely to trickle down to Stirling-Rawdon, says the mayor.

“As far as the stuff I’ve read so far, there’s nothing there for Stirling,” Mayor Rodney Cooney said in an interview.

He said all the money designated for water and wastewater treatment does

not help because Stirling-Rawdon already has completed most of the required upgrades. Money for improved railway safety doesn’t apply either, because no rail lines go through the township, he said. As for cash for affordable housing and seniors’ homes, that won’t help either, he said.

“I don’t think any (affordable housing) is planned for us,” Cooney said, adding that the senior citizens’ homes in the township are all privately owned, so the municipality is not in-

volved with those.

He said he was hoping for money to help small businesses, but that doesn’t seem to be in the budget.

As for infrastructure funding, “Maybe there’s going to be funding for something,” he said, but if it requires a 50-50 split between the municipality and the federal government, it won’t help.

“We don’t have the money to match it,” Cooney said. “What I’ve seen, it (the budget) doesn’t do anything for us.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A conservative observation on Liberal leaders

Dear Editor On Monday March 14, 2016 Ayanle Hassan Ali, a Muslim, walked into the Canadian Forces Recruitment Centre in North York and stabbed two military officers. The attacker stated “Allah told me to do this. Allah told me to come here and kill people.”

It’s reported the attack would have been far more serious if a group of six to eight trained soldiers had not taken the attacker down.

Multiple charges have been laid against Hassan Ali and an investigation is ongoing by RCMP and CSIS. What I find disturbing about this attack is the lack of response and concern by our leaders. Both federally and provincially.

Twenty four hours after a knife attack and stabbing of our soldiers at a military office in the largest city in Canada, the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister tweeted saying “Canadians and the Military would not be intimidated.” No public response,

condemnation, or quick visit.

Officially this attack has been played down by our P.M. creating a double standard.

Arson at a Peterborough mosque in late 2015 brought outrage and a highly publicized visit from the new prime minister to the mosque.

The premier of the Province has yet to make a comment on this horrendous attack or to offer condolences to the soldiers, at least publicly.

When the Peterborough mosque was torched in 2015 Wynne expressed sadness for the violence.

She was also very quick to the CBC microphones to offer support to Muslims plus she traveled to an Ottawa Mosque to offer support. She appears to have become press shy re Monday’s attack on the soldiers whom she would look to for protection if needed.

Where is her sadness for the injured military personnel?

Recently, the prime minister and premier arrived at the Toronto Zoo

to huge fanfare for the Panda’s debut. Great photo ops plastered on the front pages of all main stream media.

Yet our leaders appear to be too busy when it comes to supporting stabbed military personnel in what could prove to be a terrorist attack.

One wonders what is going on in Canada, when our leaders value animals and specific groups more than others?

Our prime minister needs to step up and speak out. It’s the right thing to do Justin. It’s 2016.

I don’t condone violence. I like fairness.

Our leaders tell us repeatedly that Canada is a country of equality and fairness. Let’s make sure that’s for all citizens.

Those who have spent generations here as well as newcomers.

Stirling Mayor Rodney Cooney says he sees no upside to the federal budget for the municipality.

Star ballplayer, exceptional rugby team, dedicated coach collect Trent Hills civic awards

By John Campbell Trent Hills – An outstanding ballplayer and an undefeated team shared the Sporting Excellence Civic Award among the annual civic awards handed out April 1.

Rob Ellis was a member of the Durham Bulls, who won the over-50 category at last year’s International Softball Congress World Championships played at South Bend, Indiana.

Ellis played in every game, either at third base or first base, during the week-long tournament which saw the Bulls defeat teams from the United States, Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

He started out in the Campbellford Men’s League and wound up several years later playing for a team in the Peterborough City league that won seven league championships.

Ellis has also coached Campbellford mite, squirt and peewee teams to provincial championships.

“Rob has developed a reputation in softball circles for his strong bat and excellent defence,” Trent Hills CAO Lynn Phillips said in announcing his award. “He is an exceptional teammate who will lend an ear, [and] give support and advice.”

Also honoured was Campbellford

District High School‘s junior girls rugby team which went undefeated last season and won the Central Ontario Secondary School Athletics championship on home turf, the first time CDHS has hosted the tournament.

The team was coached by Todd Girdwood, Jez Tippett and Rob Milligan. The team captains were Kristen Doyle and Abby Pearson. Members included Mollie Hicks, Isabel Bennett, Leah Beaudion-Powell, Madison Begbie, Viva Brown, Carissa Chrysler, Sam Davenport, Hannah Doucette, Evangeline Dryburgh, Olivia Dyer, Hannah Finch, Dezaray Hamilton, Emma Kelly, Kowshi Kerr-Yogarajah, Emily MacAlpine, Maddy Moodie, Shay-Lynn Nagge, Rayna Nehrling, Amy Newman, Hailey Palmer, Kayla Pyke, Brittany Scully and Alyssa West.

Rod Torrance, who has been the head coach of the Campbellford OPG Cougars for the past nine years, was presented the Recreation and Sport Award. His teams have won five Ontario championships, two silvers at Canadian championships and the Stirling Men‘s League the last two years.

This year he will have eight players and two assistants who have been

with him since he started out coaching the mite team in 2007.

Torrance has also served as president of Campbellford Minor Softball for the past six years.

Torrance has been involved in minor hockey as well, including stints as a member of the coaching staff that helped the novice team win a regional championship, and the juvenile team who won two Silver

Stick championships and made it to the Ontario final in 2012.

He is also a member of the coaching staff on teams his two daughters, Natalie and Maggie, play for in Belleville and Campbellford.

“That is an impressive resume of coaching and it speaks to Rod’s commitment [and] dedication to sports in our community,” Phillips said.

Conservation authorities issue flood warnings as water levels rise

By Stephen Petrick

Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation issued flood warnings earlier this week due to high flows and water levels in rivers throughout the region.

And in Belleville municipal officials were paying particular attention to water levels in the Moira River near Foxboro, which were expected to peak Monday or Tuesday.

The river was exceptionally wide in areas north of Highway 401 and water was approaching homes along River Road in Belleville’s Thurlow ward on Monday, but no sandbag walls had been erected and few homes appeared to be an imminent risk of damage.

Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager Christine McClure said Sunday, “in the Moira River system the flows in the northern region, such as Actinolite and Tweed, have peaked. The Moira River at Foxboro should peak in the next couple of days. The Napanee and Salmon Rivers are approaching their peaks and will remain high for an extended period of time.”

McClure added, “Residents who regularly experi-

ence spring flooding should be prepared. There is the potential for low-lying areas to be flooded and some structures could also be flooded. Those in flood-prone areas may experience basement flooding. Some roads may be affected by flooding.

The flooding will not be as severe as it was in 2008 and 2014.”

Peak flows for the Moira River at Foxboro could reach up to 235 cubic metres per second. The peak flow in 2014 was 316 cubic metres per second.

Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring conditions closely. The public can keep up to date on flooding information by visiting www.quinteconservation.ca or following @quinteca on Twitter.

Quinte Conservation reminds residents to be extremely cautious about changing conditions along rivers, creeks, and streams. Stream banks will be slippery and treacherous. Dams and other water control structures should be avoided at all times due to strong currents. Even water in ditches and near culverts can be dangerous.

Residents should take care to monitor their sump pumps and ensure they are

Those with urgent concerns about flooding impacting their residence can call the fire department at 613-9622010 and city staff will investigate the concern.

Meanwhile, a Flood Watch first issued by Lower Trent Conservation on Saturday, remained in effect on Monday for communities along the Trent River, spanning from Hastings to Trenton.

Four new minors join case against teacher

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board teacher who’s facing numerous sexrelated charges is expected to return to court on May 12, where six new charges are expected to be brought forward involving four additional minors.

A remand hearing for Jaclyn McLaren was held in the Consolidated Court of Justice in Belleville on March 31.

McLaren was not present, but lawyer Pieter Kort representing her requested the new court date, which was agreed to by Justice Chris Peltzer.

The delay allows both the Crown and defence team to gather more information before going to trial.

McLaren, 36, who’s also known as Jackie Jones, was charged with 36 counts of sex crimes, involving four minors, by Ontario Provincial Police in February. The new charges bring the number of chargers up to 42 and the number of alleged victims to eight.

She previously appeared at a bail hearing Feb. 19 and was released into the custody of her parents.

McLaren at that time was charged with three counts of making child pornography and one count of making sexually explicit material available to children.

She was also recently charged with four counts each of sexual assault on a person younger than 16, sexual interference with a person younger than 16 and making an invitation to sexual touching involving a person younger than 16.

A ban on publication has been ordered to protect the identities of the complainants, several boys who were believed to have been students at the time of the alleged incidents.

Kerry Donnell, a spokesperson for the school board, said McLaren is still an employee of the school board, but “she’s not currently working at a school.”

While police continue to investigate the alleged crimes, the school board is also conducting its own internal investigation, the details of which Donnell would not reveal.

McLaren recently worked at Tweed Elementary School, located in the community where the incidents are alleged to have occurred, and Harry J. Clarke School in Belleville.

Donnell said the school board is supporting students impacted by this case, noting that counselors are being made available.

“Child and youth counsellors are always available and they’re deployed to the school at a moment’s notice,” she said.

You’ll have ‘trouble right here in River City’

mounting a fully-staged version of the hit Broadway musical, “The Music After an absence of some years, the Man.” Belleville Theatre Guild is again Rehearsals by a talented cast

SEASON PINNACLE PLAYHOUSE 256 Pinnacle Street

MICHEL TREMBLAYʼS TREMBL AYʼS

have been under way for several weeks, with the show set to run in the Pinnacle Playhouse June 2-18.

Close to 40 actors on stage, ages eight to 80, are involved plus a full pit band, led by local musician Tom Dietzel.

Seasoned director Dave Kidd is at the helm, backed up by Moira Forrester for vocal work and Amy-Lyn Vondersele for the colourful choreography and a small army of other specialists for props, costumes and set. Most of the cast are seasoned veterans, but this production will introduce a wealth of new talent spanning a radius of 50 kilometres or more. That includes Sally McCrae as the female lead in the role of Marian, the librarian of River City, and the Rev. Brad Ford as the self-important mayor. Tim Fransky is the energetic lead male as Professor Harold Hill, the music man.

FIVE PLAYS FOR $80

rural America. Prosperity and opportunity abounded. Almost any town big enough to have a post office had at least two or three trains a week stopping. It was the age of vaudeville and the ubiquitous barbershop quartet, provided by members of Belleville’s own Quinte chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, A Cappella Quinte.

This, in fact, was the first time such an ensemble had been written into a musical show as actual central characters, making the Buffalo Bills Barbershop ‘Quartet world famous as a result.

A warm, fuzzy story line, rich in comedy and colour makes it an ideal family show. The songs, churched out by its creator, Meredith Willson, will be hummed and sung for weeks after – “Lida Rose,” “My White Knight,” “Gary Indiana,” and “Seventy-Six Trombones” among others.

The railroads brought the traveling salesmen to River City, a town where residents are so stubborn they could stand “touching noses without seeing eye to eye.” It also brought skilled scammers, like Prof. Harold Hill, seeking to bilk the townspeople out of their money for a boys’ band, and a young and sophisticated librarian who finds a new chapter in her quiet life thanks to the intruder.

The guild’s annual musical has a tradition of many sold out performances so audiences are advised to purchase tickets early for this rousing show.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Belleville casino could harm existing businesses: casino opponent Dear Editor, Following is a letter to council: Mayor Christopher and Council Members, I read with interest of your plans to proceed with building a casino in Belleville, along with the supportive statements from OLG officials and the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCG). Unfortunately, much of what is being stated is untrue or slanted, while important facts and considerations in the public interest appear to be left out altogether. No one appears to be stepping in to set the record straight. From my own extensive work in the gambling field, please let me share a number of observations that I hope will be of interest to you.

My review of OLG documents and typical revenue rates suggests that you are slated for a facility with 300 slots and 13 tables, which I estimate will generate in the order of $36 million, net of winnings, annually (if OLG believes these figures to be wrong, let it table numbers it maintains are correct). Revenues from your area will

contribute to a net increase projected in OLG’s Modernization Plan of $1.3 billion province-wide on top of the existing $4.8 billion net gambler loss.

A casino means that the residents of your catchment area will redirect money that could have been otherwise spent in the local economy. Instead, it will go to OLG and the GCG, leaving behind 5.5 per cent for you, the “host” community. They take $34 million per year and your community gets $1.98 million of local money as a cash-back. In my view, that’s not a reasonable return on investment. Moreover, OLG and CGC never address what will happen to the local economy as a result of this substantial extraction.

My research at the provincial level posits that most new gambling expenditures will be redirected from what Statistics Canada terms the “leisure and entertainment” sector. New money diverted to gambling will be lost revenue for your restaurants, sporting events, theatres, concerts, museums, and so on. Province-wide, the sector will be harmed to the tune

of losing about 11 per cent of its total revenue. In similar fashion, your local leisure and entertainment sector will lose a good chunk of the $36 million. As a result, employees will be let go and businesses will go under – you will undoubtedly hear from them as time goes on and their distress becomes apparent.

But, OLG and GCG will tell you, they will hire local people and are a “job creator”. Let’s look at this claim a bit closer.

I examined the number of employees across Ontario casinos per $1 million revenue, and compared it to the leisure and entertainment sector.

The results aren’t good – leisure and entertainment employs 2.4 times as many people per $1 million revenue than do casinos. So, for every new casino job, look for 2.4 to be lost elsewhere in your local community. This is not a defensible economic development strategy, in my books.

School board reaches agreements with occasional teachers, support staff

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board reached tentative agreements with unions representing occasional teachers and support staff over the last week.

The news ensures there will be labour peace at the board for some time. Similar agreements were also reached earlier this school year between the board and unions that represent secondary schools teachers and elementary school teachers.

The school board first announced last week it reached an agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1022 on a tentative settlement on local bargaining issues.

CUPE Local 1022 is the union that represents support staff employed by the school board. That includes custodians, educational assistants, library technicians, maintenance workers and clerical staff, among others.

“We are very pleased that the teams for the Board and CUPE have reached a tentative agreement,” said Dwayne Inch, chair of the school board, in a statement.

“Both teams negotiated for a lengthy period of time in a respectful manner and came to agreeable terms. CUPE support staff play important roles in educating students, and we appreciate their contributions to student achievement and wellbeing,” CUPE Local 1022 President Lee-Ann Evans added, the news is pleasing. “On

behalf of the bargaining team, I would like to thank our members for their support and dedication through this process,” she said.

Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks, the school board said.

The board then announced on Monday, April 4 it had reached a tentative agreement with the Hastings Prince Edward Occasional Teachers’ Local (HAPEOTL) on local bargaining issues.

“Congratulations to the teams. This agreement shows their commitment to work together to come to fair terms for both parties,” said Inch. “Occasional teachers serve students each day and are valued employees at Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.”

Doug Thur, President of the HAPE OTL added, “The HAPE-OTL and HPEDSB collective bargaining teams have worked hard on the new collective agreement for occasional teachers. Our occasional teachers should be happy with this new agreement and we look forward to continuing the important work they do each day in our schools.”

HAPE-OTL represents approximately 200 occasional teachers. The term of the agreement is from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2017.

Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks.

Springtime in the Netherlands’ Keukenhof Gardens

By John M. Smith

R0013740685

It’s that time of year again when we declare that winter has run its course and that we’re about to get reacquainted with such ‘signs of the times’ as the reappearance of multi-coloured flowers, freshly emerging blossoms and the annual running of sap. Springtime signals a season of new birth, bright promise, and warmer temperatures, and it’s celebrated by a number of special annual events, including some spectacular tulip festivals. For example, our very own “Canadian Tulip Festival” runs in Ottawa this year from May 12 to May 23, and our American neighbour, Holland, Michigan’s “Tu- Daffodils are another springtime flower on display in the Keukenhof Garlip Time Festival” takes place between dens.

While visiting Amsterdam, I decided to spend a day in these nearby gardens, so I simply hopped on a train to the airport, using my eurail pass (www.raileurope. com), and then took bus #58, which led me directly to the Keukenhof (www. keukenhof.nl) in about half an hour. It certainly proved to be a wondrous and worthwhile destination!

Money available to sort out blue box woes

The ongoing challenge of convincing blue box recyclers to properly sort their recyclable products may have a solution.

Quinte Waste Solutions reports it is “improving recycling at apartment buildings one cart, and bag, at a time.”

The municipal services board announced it has received 50 per cent funding, up to $15,000, from the province’s Continuous Improvement Fund to improve the “sorting behaviours at high-rise apartment complexes in the Quinte region.”

“There are many barriers to recycling properly in apartment buildings,” said Jackie Brown, Special Events and Multi-Residential Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions. She cites such issues as “garbage chutes on every floor, outside depots, and limited indoor space to keep recyclables (as) the biggest hurdles, but the main issue for us is incorrect sorting. The lack of sorting is getting worse, which causes big problems at the recy-

“The bags are divided in two, and clearly marked as to which side to put either their paper products or their plastic and metal products.

The intention is that this will help residents throw their recyclables in the right cart when they bring them down to the depot,” said Brown.

QWS also switched lids on paper-designated carts from blue to grey to further help residents differentiate where to put plastic and metal containers, and where to put paper.

“We’ll know soon if these techniques worked.

The good news now, is that we have enough recycling bags for all apartment buildings for our en-

Jackie Brown, Special Events and Multi-Residential Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions, says there are solutions for apartment dwellers’ improperly sorted recyclable material. Submitted photo

Dan Clost There are two commonly asked questions about pruning evergreens- when and how. The when is much simpler than most folks think. This refers to forming, shaping or directing the growth of the plant. There are other times when you might literally hack away at an evergreen such as removing dead limbs from mature firs or “raising the skirt” of a large specimen that is beginning to take up too much space. Once the plant has begun active growth, meaning lots of new green fuzzy bits on the tips, it is time to stop.

Exceptions include some hedges and topiaries that accept very light trimming during the course of the year just to keep it looking ever-so-formal.

“How” is simple but it comes with a caveat of “who.” Once these chappies start getting taller than you can reach, call in a professional- one with proof of insurances. Almost anybody can produce a “certified arborist-gardenergreen-plant expert” certificate with their name on it. The real professional will show you all the other important papers; and, as a homeowner, the proof of insurance (WSIB) tops everything.

Without these bits of paper, you as-

The Good Earth: Go Prune an Evergreen

sume the liability.You want to see two proofs- Certificate of Clearance from the WSIB and Certificate of Insurance for liability- and it should be for a million dollars or more.

Pruning is simple and so are the tools you will be using.

You can use hand-held pruners, loppers, hedging shears and even pole-pruners. The two common characteristics will be that they are all by-pass cutters and they are sharp.

Yews: Yews come in different forms, e.g. globe, spreading etc. You could take a spreading form and trim it into a ball shape but that would be silly for two reasons. The first is that you will always be fighting the nature of the plant and the second is that plants with the desired form already exist.

Big cuts, not a thousand little cuts, are needed. If you have a branch that is sticking out too far, the easy thing to do is cut it off at the outer edge of the canopy or body of the shrub. Don’t do that. Follow the stem into the plant and nick it out. One cut results in: less shock to the plant, room for current growth to spread out and fill the surprisingly small void, retention of natural form, and a lot less work.

Pines: small pines, e.g. mugho, dwarf white pine, and any Japanese garden tree (think bonsai without the pot and a larger scale) such as a black pine, are easily contained in their allotted volume by candling. Candles, the sheathed needles at the tips, are the only growing points on a pine which makes it easy to limit their growth. There is usually one longer candle surrounded by several shorter ones. As the season starts, the needles will get sticky and begin to separate and that is the time to “candle.” Simply break off the candle halfway down its length which will limit this year’s growth to that length. By doing it then, you allow enough time for next year’s bud to develop. To keep things even more in check, twist off the long candle plus all of the shorter ones, leaving only two which should be pointing in the same direction as the stem, i.e. longitudinal. Cut them in half.

Spruces: one difference between pine and spruces is that spruces will form buds along the fingers; fingers being as good a word as any for the small branches of the whorl at the end of each limb or larger branch. When you trim back the fingers- just to balance the shape- leave several brown buds. If the leader at the top seems to be a bit too long, you can cut it back by one-half. Make sure that any of the other fingers in the top whorl are also tipped a titch to ensure that only one finger will assert dominance.

Cedars: (any of the Thuja occidentalis, e.g. white, black,

Holmstrup), as with most plants, benefit best from formative pruning at a young age. Preferably, you want as few upright stems as possible.

Hedging cedars (aka swamp cedars, bare root cedars) are usually one-stemmed or, if not, can be easily made so. The benefits will be apparent when they’re carrying a winter load of snow.

Usually multi-stemmed “clumps” will spring back together after the snow spreads out the canopy but sometimes, if a bit of ice gets into the mix, they stay “sprung.” This requires rehab pruning which means cutting into old wood which means a long time looking at a bare spot.

Most cedars will have multiple stems when you purchase them and cutting them out would

render the plant less than aesthetically attractive.

So, with your hedging shears, just lightly trim and shape the sides for form and tip back the top leaving the most central stem a titch higher than its mates. Next year, that central stem will be taller in relation to those around it. The shorter ones are now ready to be slight trimmed into the overall shape, allowing the central leader to become the only leader. From that point on you have a single stemmed cedar.

Hastings County levy up sharply

By Jack Evans Increased electricity costs have had a significant impact on this year’s Hastings County budget and levy increase, county council was told Thursday.

That impact applied especially to the public housing units administered by the county plus the two senior citizen homes, Centennial Manor in Bancroft and Hastings Manor in Belleville.

Treasurer Susan Horwood added that in the case of the two manors, conservation measures last year reduced usage by two per cent, but increases amounted to 13 per cent. That translates into $280,000, she said.

The final budget figure for expenditures for 2016 is $5,932,792, up from $5,382,422 last year, an increase in the tax levy apportioned among member municipalities of 3.42 per cent . The total tax levy is $13,419,378. Horwood calculated that on a typical tax bill with residential assessment of $190,000, it would mean a $13.40 increase. One member, Reeve Terry Clemens of Marmora and Lake, commented: “That’s about the same as one Tim Horton’s coffee per month,” as councillors unanimously approved the budget presentation and congratulated Horwood for her work.

Cost factors included repairs to aging infrastructure, declining revenue as well as hydro costs.

The county will continue to support

health care commitments, with $100,000 to Quinte Health Care’s Imagine campaign, (the final payment), $565,400 to Kingston Hospital Foundation and $107,500 for doctor recruitment.

Debt financing charges, mainly to cover massive restructuring of the main county offices building are $240,000 annually. The treasurer also noted there will be some savings of extra rent for departments moving back into the main building from commercial rented properties.

Planning and economic development costs are also up sharply, partly with efforts to complete a new official plan and increased tourism investments through the Bay of Quinte regional tourist council.

Social services, long the source of key increases, is actually down by 1.37 per cent, a saving of $57,000, largely because of a provincial upload of $239,000.

The budget includes $2,198,310 for new capital projects in social services, including replacement of single family dwellings, eight units for 2016, four new ambulances and upgrades to the two homes for seniors.

A surplus from 2015 of $371,000 will be placed in contingency reserve.

Concerning the new public housing units, CAO Jim Pine confirmed there may be some additional help from the recent federal budget, which included an increase for public housing, but “we’re still waiting to see the details,” he said.

Warden Rick Phillips congratulates county treasurer Susan Horwood on a successful 2016 budget presentation last week.

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love, You can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it is time I travel alone.

So grieve a while for if grieve you must, Then let your grief be, comforted by trust.

It's only for awhile that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on.

So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't hear or touch me, I'll be near.

And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All my love around you, soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say,...

DEATH NOTICE

Georgena Martin

Georgena Martin (née Flindall) slipped away peacefully at her home in Whitby, with her family by her side on the morning of Saturday, March 19, 2016. In her 92nd year.

She bravely, and quietly, endured the ailments that accompany a long life, and is now at peace.

Georgena is survived by the love of her life, her high school sweetheart and husband of 72 years, Arthur Martin. Predeceased by their eldest daughter, Carolyn (Berlin), her parents, Stephen and Olive (née Nix) Flindall, her sisters, Katherine, Lucie and Janet, and her brothers Nix, Leslie, Ralph, Albert, and Ivan.

Georgena will be greatly missed by their son Allan (Patti Todd), daughters Marilyn Scobie, Barbara Hall (Chris Powell), Brenda Martin (Paul Garrett), grandchildren Christopher, John (Andrea), Adam (Monika), Calay, Heather, and great grandchildren (James, Sho, Lisa, Ava, Chloé).

She is the dear sister-in-law of Madge Flindall, Alice Sheffield, Louise Snider (Alan), and Campbell Martin (Mary-Anne), step-grandmother to Matthew, Michelle, Kristen, Reid, Ben, Stephanie and Amanda and stepgreat grandmother to Tehya, Addison, Quinn and Penelope.

Intelligent and resourceful, Georgena acquired many skills growing up on the farm in Brighton. Rarely idle, she spent countless hours sewing – everything from clothing to dolls to quilts – and she left no craft unexplored. The consummate hostess, Georgena was famous for her culinary skills – she made a mean trifle – but, more than anything, she loved a strong cup of coffee and a good chat.

Georgena loved her life, and everyone in it, unconditionally. Beautiful inside and out, our amazing Mother lived her life with integrity and a funloving spirit. We will miss you Mom: your voice, your wit, your wisdom, your kindness and most of all, your love. You will live forever in our hearts and minds, and will always be remembered. Thank you for being that wonderful individual who helped to guide us along life’s journey.

Georgena and the family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Taunton Mills. And, in particular, extend our profound thanks to Grace Martins. Grace, you were so much more than a PSW, your love and friendship and extraordinary care meant so much to all of us, especially Mom. You are truly one of a kind.

To respect Georgena’s wishes there will not be a memorial at this time.

Cremation has been arranged at the Brighton Funeral Home. If you wish to make a donation in her memory, please give to the MS Society of Canada, the Arthritis Society or a charity of your choice.

Daffodils and Tees in the battle against cancer

By Terry McNamee

Belleville—Firefighters in Belleville helped get the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Month fundraiser underway with a challenge.

Belleville Deputy Fire Chief Ray Ellis, a long-time Cancer Society supporter, has challenged other groups in the Hastings, Prince Edward and Brighton area, and the Quinte West Fire Department in particular, to hold workplace fundraising events in support of the Canadian Cancer Society this April.

In the past, Ellis personally has raised more than $80,000 for the Cancer Society through his participation in Spin-a-Thon, Road to Relay and Daffodil Days, and in 2005 he made a solo bicycle ride from Belleville to Edmonton to raise funds.

His efforts also help make people aware of the cancer risks firefighters deal with on the job as they fight fires at locations that often contain toxic chemicals as well as synthetic materials and foam, which give off dangerous fumes as they burn.

“The list is growing all the time for presumptive cancers,” Ellis said. “A lot of these don’t come until we’re retired or later in our careers.”

Belleville firefighters are selling Cancer Society tees as their fundraiser this month for the society.

Other businesses supporting the Cancer Society’s fundraiser include Smylies Independent in Trenton and Dewes Independent in Belleville.

They are selling fresh cut and potted daffodils in their locations from March 31 to April 17, with $2 from every sale coming back to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Daffodil Month began in Toronto in April of 1954 when a group of woman sold daffodils to raise money for the Cancer Society. It soon spread right across the country, and has been held annually ever since. The money raised is used by the Society to fund life-saving research, provide information on cancer prevention and treatment and to provide communitybased support services in the fight against cancer.

Rather than selling live flowers, as it did in the past, the Society itself now concentrates on selling daffodil pins as a more cost-effective way to raise money. And the pin itself reminds everyone of the fight against cancer.

“The daffodil is a symbol of hope,” explained Karen White, volunteer president of the Hastings/Prince Edward/Brighton community office, who lost her husband and brother to cancer. “That symbol of hope renews the hope of everybody who is touched by cancer. This is really, really important to us.”
